No 44 At The Arden

Eating was good, but the choice was disappointing. the service was good, but the food took a long time. we were there before 1.30 and went not until 3.15

Excellent food and service, so a good dining experience. However, on previous visits we have enjoyed a lunchtime price of Two courses for £X The menu has changed. The upper half is a selection of sharing plates with the advice to choose five or six. The lower part of the menu is divided in two. The left hand side gives a menu with choices at every course. The right hand side gives a very limited choice for each course, each at lower prices. Diners should be very careful to note both prices and choices. My wife and I ended up with a lunch bill of nearly £100 instead of the £50 to 60 that we had expected. A good dining experience but the bill was an unpleasant surprise.

My partner and I dined at this restaurant after the show. We arrived early, but they still seated us. We had a few tables to choose from. The restaurant was very clean, although a bit chilly. The service was a bit slow to take our drink orders. The kitchen was on a break, so our food wouldn't be ready until half an hour after our 5pm reservation. However, the meals were delicious and we complimented the chef. We would definitely book here again.

Eat cold, massive lack of taste, culinary techniques badly performed ane combinations very repetitiw for the price they pay. the service was great after the beetroot risotto of my wife arrived, it was cold, unsalted and it had only the color of the beetroot. the responsible person who took our order was very friendly and solved the problem immediately.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent, making for a wonderful evening.
